both electrical engineering and computer engineering students. The course includes acombination of lectures and labs, covering one topic and one lab during each week. The flippedclassroom method is used in both synchronous and asynchronous sessions. Synchronous onlinechat sessions mean that both the instructor and students are online together at the same time.Instructors are required to hold two one-hour chat sessions involving Q&A: one chat sessionaddresses answering questions about the videos, assigned readings, and homework problems.Another one-hour chat session is reserved for answering lab questions or exercises. Each week,assigned readings and several five to ten minutes videos of each topic are created using screenrecording software

coursesimulating the online delivery. After comparing the grades with attendance rate shown in thehistograms on Figures 7 and 8, there exists a correlation between grades and attendance rate.Three students who failed the labs in the piloted course attended only 61.9%, 52.4 % and 19.1%of the classes. All the students in the face-to-face course attended 68% or more of all the classes.Students who failed the labs in the piloted-class missed many lab chats session during the 11weeks. This preliminary data shows the importance of attending the Question-and-Answer(Q&A) chat sessions when it comes to lab experiments. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2016

means classroom time when the instructor andstudents are online together (commonly known as a chat or synchronous session). The conduct ofthe required Q&A chat sessions are discussed next.The second concept involves minimal or no lecture material presented during the online sessionswhen students and instructor meet synchronously on a weekly basis. The engineeringdepartment determined that there is very little time to provide a thorough lecture-based materialduring online sessions. This concept allows more student engagement as a follow-up to themultimedia content presented during the week. The chat sessions are recorded. If students areunable to attend the chat session, then they must view the recording and turn in an assignedproject or
